We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[Original sin] does not refer to Adam’s first sin, but to the guilt and tendency to sin with which we are born. It is 'original' in that it comes from Adam, and it is also original in that we have it from the beginning of our existence as persons, but it is still our sin, not Adam’s sin, that is meant (Wayne Grudem and Jeff Purswell).

If Christ be not the Substitute, He is nothing to the sinner. If He did not die as the Sin-bearer, He has died in vain. Let us not be deceived on this point, or misled by those who, when they announce Christ as the Deliverer, think they have preached the Gospel. If I throw a rope to a drowning man, I am a deliverer. But is Christ no more than that? If I cast myself into the sea, and risk my life to save another, I am a deliverer. But is Christ no more? Did He but risk His life? The very essence of Christ’s deliverance is the substitution of Himself for us, His life for ours. He did not come to risk His life; He came to die! He did not redeem us by a little loss, a little sacrifice, a little labor, a little suffering. “He redeemed us to God by his blood,” “the precious blood of Christ” (Rev 5:9; 1Pe 1:19). He gave all He had, even His life, for us.

    "Jesus Had No Servants"
     
           
     
    Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
    Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
    Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
    He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
    He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
    He committed no crime, but they crucified Him.
    He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
    Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us.
     

    "10 Little Christians"
     
     
    10 Little Christians standing in line
    1 disliked the preacher, then there were 9
     
    9 little Christians stayed up very late
    1 overslept Sunday, then there were 8
     
    8 little Christians on their way to Heaven
    1 took the low road and then there were 7
     
    7 little Christians chirping like chicks
    1 disliked music, then there were 6
     
    6 little Christians seemed very much alive
    But one lost his interest then there was 5
     
    5 little Christians pulling for Heaven's Shore
    But one stopped to rest, then there were 4
     
    4 little Christians each busy as a bee
    But one got his feelings hurt, then there were 3
     
    3 little Christians knew not what to do
    1 joined the sporty crowd, then there were 2
     
    2 little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done
    Differed with each other, then there was 1
     
    1 little Christian can't do much 'tis true;
    But brought his friend to Bible study -- then there were 2
     
    2 earnest Christians, each won one more
    That doubled the number, then there were 4
     
    4 sincere Christians worked early and late
    Each won another then there were 8
     
    8 splendid Christians if they doubled as before
    In just so many Sundays, we'd have 1,024
     
    In this little jingle, there is a lesson true,
    You belong, either to the building, or to the wrecking-crew!
